I The object of this invention 18 to provide a sanitary protector for womens use that willtake the place of drawers and belt, com- I bined witha pocket and napkin, the protector being supported around the groins of the user, and having a detachable front sec; tion that can be folded back in order that the i shaped portion 3, is fastened the strip 4;

which is adapted to engage in the adjustable fastener 5, said fastener being loosely mounted on the belt 6, which is sewed to the portion of the protector that circles the waist, and has an elastic insert 7. The lower portion of 1 is lined with the rubberized piece 8, onto which is sewed the pocket portion, also of a rubberized material. This pocket portion is made up of an upper and lower piece 9 and 10, the upper piece 9 having a suitable elongated opening 11 for inserting absorbent cotton-or whatever mate-- rial necessary, upper piece -9 having two slots 12 and 13 parallel to the edge 14, which is loose from the lower member 10 at its central portion as is shown more clearly in Fig. 2 and at the opposite extremity ofthe pocket both theupper and lower pieces 9 and 10 are slotted as at 15, parallel to the slots 9 and 10.
